"After this moment someone put the word 'reddit' in front of the word 'atheism' and the entire west changed its world view. Before this post- two Obama terms. After this post- Trump wins in a landslide. Hundreds of years of philosophy and now be undone bully a picture of an obese man with a fedora."
"For a while the overly online atheist types were amongst the more insufferable people you can find. But with the rise of evangelicals and midwestern politicians hopping on the culture war it seems like the pendulum has swung back"
"They went from legitimately pretty good stuff with *Insomniac* and *Dookie* to r/atheism posts in music form."
